20 frenzy-worthy TV shows return for another season

We all know the difficulty of becoming obsessed with a TV show on a streaming service, gorging on the whole series, and then finding out that it won’t be back for another season.

Fortunately, there are plenty of shows to binge on that avoid this heartbreak.

From long-running shows you can sink your teeth into to trending series returning for the second round, here are 20 frenzy-worthy shows returning for another season, so there will be a lot more content going on.

Succession

Probably the most anticipated return of all shows in 2021, the third season of Succession should return this fall.

The critically-acclaimed HBO drama follows the Roy family, the dysfunctional owners of a media conglomerate, and family members’ infighting to reach the top amid the fragile health of their father Logan.

Lots of drama is to come, following Kendall’s explosive press conference at the end of season two.

Research group

This satirical dark comedy has moved to HBO Max, so its four seasons are perfect for a streaming frenzy – and a fifth is on the way.

Getting into what happens later in the series would be a major spoiler, but the series kicks off with Dory (Alia Shawkat) becoming obsessed with the case of a missing woman, whom she knew in college.

Jeff Goldblum has joined the cast for the upcoming fifth season.

Grey’s Anatomy

If you never want your streaming frenzy to run out of steam, Grey’s Anatomy is the show for you.

The medical drama has been running for 17 seasons so far, and its 18th airing in September, so you’ll have your work cut out for you if you want to make up for it ahead of time.

Grey’s Anatomy is all about the work and personal lives of the staff at Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital, run by Meredith Gray (Ellen Pompeo).

The first season has 10 episodes to feast on before the second season arrives in September.

Who would have thought that a cartoon about two anthropomorphic birds in their thirties would be such a success? Tuca & Bertie, with Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong as the titular birds, was canceled by Netflix after just one season, but Adult Swim came to the rescue and ordered a second season.

Earlier this month, Tuca & Bertie has been renewed for season three.

Love life

HBO Max’s rom-com anthology series Love life kind of went under the radar when it dropped in 2020, but definitely worth a look.

The first season followed Darby, played by Anna Kendrick, from her first big romance to her last, and all the failed relationships between the two.

Season two has been commissioned and will star William Jackson Harper as the protagonist.

The Great British Pastry Fair

There is nothing healthier than to binge The Great British Pastry Fair and luckily for us, there is another season on the way.

You know the score: a group of amateur bakers are tasked with creating technical masterpieces and mind-blowing desserts, while avoiding soggy bottoms.

The show is available to stream on Netflix in the United States.

The wonderful Mrs. Maisel

Amazon Prime Videos The wonderful Mrs. Maisel has been a cherished awards season with its first three seasons and we expect the same with its fourth, with the show renewed in 2019.

The first season was followed by two special hours and the second season started filming in April of this year.

It’s always nice in Philadelphia

The half-hour TV formats are the easiest (and most addicting) to consume, so even though there have been 14 seasons of The weather is always good, we think it’s very bingeable.

The FX comedy follows a group of narcissistic friends (“The Gang”) who run an Irish bar in Philly, and is now the longest-running live-action comedy series in American television history.

Not only is The weather is always good coming back for more, he’s already been renewed for four more seasons, bringing him to 18.
